American Legion, Hoquiam Post No. 16, letter to Senator Miles Poindexter condemned the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World), December 19, 1919

The IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) was founded in 1905. It is a labor union that advocates for the rights of the working class. Members of the IWW often clashed with government and big business.

Miles Poindexter was a Republican Senator from Washington State from 1911-1923. He was known for his intense nationalism, support for the Sedition Act, and anti-anarchist/Bolshevik position. He supported the American Legion and worked to deport any IWW members who opposed the American government.
